When you narrow down the list, you may even "secret shop" a few of them to get an idea of the competition.

And, unless you intend to knock on their door to collect the rent, it's possible to keep your identity a secret from them.

I am already reading books such as, Rich Dad Poor dad, The Secret, and Think and Grow rich.

In addition I recommend reading Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T.

All new investors are seeking the latest shiny object that reveals the secret sauce.
